The Right Tool Kit

If you don't have a tool kit on your quad, you'll want to put one together that contains the basic tools

If you would rather just buy a pre-assembled kit specifically for ATVs and motorcycles, you’re in luck. We did a review of the Kit  that comes with just about everything you need to do basic repairs while on a ride.

Keeping just the most basic tools with your ATV can make the difference between inconvenient delays as you fix a leaking fuel line, and a stressful, sometimes dangerous breakdown in the middle of nowhere.

atv camping series we will discuss being prepared for a mishap or the unfortunate event of getting lost in country side . Because atv camping  allows us to get to some very remote campsites, the potential of getting lost or having a breakdown are increased.

All of this should be kept in a waterproof container (which can double as the drinking container) or bag. When put together this basic kit is very small and compact. Once put together this kit should only be opened when absolutely needed, put it in your rack bag and leave it alone till needed. This ensures everything stays together.

The ATV survival kit is the set of basic atv tools  and any serious ATVer who has broken down in the middle of nowhere knows the value of this kit. The following is a list of recommended items for your ATV survival kit:

If someone does gets lost while on an ATV camping adventure a personal survival kit and an ATV survival kit would be essential in helping the individual survive and find their way back to safety or be found by others. A survival kit  need not be big and bulky, it just needs to have some basic survival items like the following:

As for the campsite, setup the tents so they are not in a drainage area in case it rains. Make sure you understand the rules and regulations of the area especially if there are fire restrictions. Remember that you are a visitor to the area, so leave it as you found it if not better. With ATV Camping  food preparation can be very basic or gourmet style meals can be cooked on a camping stove. Do not leave uneaten food out in the open, always keep food in seal tight containers when not in use. Never keep food in your tent. Keep the campsite clean of trash and leave no trace of your being there when you leave. If fires are allowed use existing fire pits before building a new pit and always drowned out the fire completely and cover the ashes with dirt.

In the event you get lost or become disoriented, the first rule for survival is “Don’t Panic”. Your goal in this situation is to be found therefore you must make yourself as visible as possible. If you have an ATV stay with it as it can be a valuable resource let alone transportation. If the ATV is broke down still stay with it, it is a large object that can easily be seen and it has components you might be able to use.

Don’t wander, look around the area for landmarks to familiarize yourself with your surroundings. If you have a handheld GPS (Global Positioning System), locate your coordinates and if possible locate a road or landmark close to you. If you have a communication device (cell phone, 2-way radio, etc.) try to contact someone and inform them of your situation, landmarks, and/or coordinates. Find something to use as a signaling device (mirror, aluminum foil, bright color fabric, etc) to signal other people, planes, and/or vehicles in the area.

If it is dusk or dark then light a fire if possible. A fire not only will keep you warm but it can be seen for miles. Also a fire helps with the psychology of the lost individual as it has a calming effect and has a way of making us feel safe. You can also use the headlight of the ATV as a signaling device. Again your goal is to be found.

If you have to spend the night build a shelter, anything to block the wind and cold (use your ATV if possible). The smaller the shelter the better to minimize the loss of body heat (remember the “Rules “). Use leaves and/or pine needles as bedding and cover to insulate yourself from the ground and cold. In the morning, stay close to your shelter and continue with everything possible to make yourself visible, smoky fires, signaling devices, loud noises, etc. If possible find a source of water.

By using some of these basic tips on camping survival, surviving an ATV camping adventure in the wilderness is fairly simple, remember it is all about preparation. Start now and let us help you to get your KIT  and get your survival kits together before your next ATV camping adventure.
